Even if you don't like Stephen King, you have to admit that he's a darn good storyteller
If you're wondering what MIGHT scare him you have but to read, or in my case listen to DOLAN'S CADILLAC.
The imagination of this man is boundless and as creepy as slugs and centipedes slithering up your legs in the dark.
DOLAN'S CADILLAC is written, in MY opinion, in his old psychological eerie Richard Bachman style.
The Audio book includes Rob, Lowe, Whoopee Goldberg, Tim Curry and Yeardley Smith. KING himself includes a brief insight into his style and why he (like me) still thinks short stories are still his favorite form of writing.

I will not give away the plot, but if you know anything about SK you know that he uses every possible angle to lure you in then PUSH something awful, something frightening right in your face.

Dolan's Cadillac is four short stories ending with the Title tale which is the longest.
Whoopie Goldberg does a great job on SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN, a small peek into the minds of littlin's when their spirit might not be so little?
The always splendid Tim Curry with his deep English accented voice takes you on a journey the CROUCH END a town that has an undercurrent of something sinister.
Will you get out? can you get out?

Stephen King has a really dark humorous side he will use something as everyday as a simple innocents amphibious creature to wreak havoc on a town every seven years and only when NEWBIES come to live but are warned with the truth, and still they do not believe.
The 'oldsters' are typical New Englanders with their EAH'S and CAAR, speech, but clearly accepting of a phenomenon that they have come to know as THE RAINY SEASON.

Since I am the queen of wanting to see the bad guy get theirs, I am always interested in seeing how SK will do what he does when the antagonist is so self serving and non caring that he has no regard for human life. What does a simple man do for revenge? Well what would you do if the criminal rode in a specially made bullet proof almost invincible automobile? You have to read DOLAN'S CADILLAC and find out.

This is probably one of the best Steven King has written and it's a short story, Dolan's Cadillac. It was GREAT, I LOVED IT! Can't always say that as I do TRULY enjoy his books but THIS ONE was the best ever in my view. An Older one but Awesome. He is an amazing writer. This one is NOT creepy as some are, I say get it and make your own decision....

These older short stories are always great, and you can't beat some of the stars who read in this collection. Some real creepers here for sure.

Tidbits of King in short story format, plus a great intro by the author which for this reader gives added insight into this crazy creative gneius. Great for the road (audio format).

If your a Stephen King fan then this book will not disappoint. A wonderful read, revenge is truely a dish best when served cold.

I loved this collection of short stories. Every reader did an excellent job and really pulled me into the stories.

I usually like Stephen King novels, but not this one. It felt like a short story stretched out to make a longer one. Seemed to go nowhere.
